The Tolomeo Basculante from Artemide is a member of the famous Tolomeo series by Italian designers Michele de Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina. You can see the relationship clearly when looking at the lamp’s frame: the distinctive, adjustable arm of glossy aluminium is typical for the Tolomeo family.

The lampshade, made from a choice of multiple elegant materials, and base made of polished aluminium complete the image of the Basculante: the shade appears less technical and cool than the aluminium shade on the ‘classic’ Tolomeo lamp, for which reason the Tolomeo Basculante isn’t just suitable as a desk lamp, but also as decorative background lighting in your living room or for your bedside table as a reading lamp. The lightly translucent satin or parchment shade emits atmospheric, diffuse light.

With the corresponding wall bracket, the Tolomeo Basculante can even become a wall lamp, offering many advantages over other wall lamps thanks to its flexible arm.

The Tolomeo Basculante Lettura desk/table lamp by Artemide is thus through and through a designer piece, enhancing the Tolomeo series with another interesting model.

I ordered them because I've always loved them. Unfortunately it did not fit optically into the intended corner. Otherwise great design

Thanks to the wall mount, I now have a little more space on my desk. Simple installation, Allen key for fixing included in delivery. Also easy to assemble without manual skills with two screws (and dowels if necessary). Oh yes, looks of course also still very chic...

Good alternative

Good alternative to the clumsy stand. The lamp landed as a wall lamp in the bathroom. Very effective and great effect.

You have to mark the bracket very precisely, drill it and screw it on tightly, otherwise it will be crooked and wobbly.
The old bracket was simpler and somehow more honest in design, but that's just my personal opinion.

screwed to the table top with this sturdy table clamp. Its elegant swivel arms can be adjusted in all directions, as can its light body. Fits with the Tolomeo Basculante Tavolo unfortunately not returned to my living room therefore.

I have decided on the Tolomeo Body for the table foot and am absolutely satisfied! The size looks a bit bulky at first and already takes up a little space on the desk. But although the foot is extremely heavy and absolutely stable and non-slip, it still looks light and minimalistic thanks to the shiny surface and the very flat design. I am enthusiastic and completely convinced of my decision.

The table foot fits perfectly to the Artemide - Tolomeo Terra. Although the head is made of matt anodized aluminum and the joints + brackets are made of polished aluminum. It all seems very harmonious after all.

We bought the wall mount to replace the clamp for our reading corner. The wall mount is beautifully finished and closes beautifully with the wall. Functionally but optically also an absolute eye-catcher by the clean design. Recommended at any time

With the help of the wall bracket, my Tolomeo desk lamp was converted into a comfortable reading lamp next to the sofa in the living room. The wall mount is heavy and well made. It can be attached to the wall in simple steps.

The wall mount for the Tolomeos lamps is really great, so you can mount the Tolomeos flexibly on the wall and does not necessarily need floor space. Whether on a sofa, bed or kitchen worktop, the lamp does not take up any space and still provides light. The assembly is simple, the effect super!

We wanted to mount the mini version of the lamp on the wall. Unfortunately the lamp was too big for our small room.
But we liked the wall mount and wanted to use it with another, smaller lamp. However, we noticed that other lamps did not fit into the bracket.
With a lot of craftsmanship we managed it. However not recommended for other lamps, but for the Artemide lamp top!

The wall bracket is easy to install and does not affect the function of the Tolomeo lamp. The wall mount itself is also well designed and does not need to be hidden. Extends the application possibilities of the Tolomeo e.g. above the record player, as a reading light above the headboard of the bed....

Best solution for all Tolomeo luminaires

The Artemide - Tolomeo Toschklemme is small but fine, in my opinion the best solution for all Tolomeo lamps!

I admit that I have already doubted something: "Would this holder do what it promises?" - The lamp is not heavy, but nevertheless very expansive.
There was absolutely no need to worry because the bracket was easy to mount and holds the lamp in the desired position. I like the fact that the lamp is simply inserted into the holder, without complicated screwing etc..
I'm very pleased.
We bought both the lamps and the brackets twice and enjoy the variable lighting on the left and right side of the sofa.
